Yes I have challenged the dissolution of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly in the Supreme Court of India and the petition was on Thursday formally admitted by the top court of the country.
Local news agency KNS quoting sources also claimed that Gagan Bhagat is presently drawing close proximity with the top brass of National Conference.
The challenge to dissolution of assembly comes amid reports that election commission was mulling to club J&K assembly elections with the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the country.
On November 21, the Governor dissolved the Assembly after the PDP staked claim to form a government along with the Congress and with the outside backing of the National Conference.
